Othello

winter production 2019

Shakespeare Frankfurt presents a modernized version of “Othello” as seen through the lens of “Law and Order”. Othello, head of a specialized FBI unit, is prey to the machinations of one of his oldest and most trusted agents, Iago and slowly succumbs to a monstrous jealousy. Based on the folio text, this scaled-down and streamlined version brings Shakespeare’s notions of honor, jealousy and betrayal into a world entirely recognizable for a contemporary audience.
